The body of a missing Mui Wo local was found near Sunshine Island yesterday (June 26).

According to Apple Daily, a ‘human-like figure’ was spotted floating to the east of Mui Wo and Hei Ling Chau island at noon yesterday.

Hong Kong Marine Police and Fire Services Department brought the corpse to Mui Wo Ferry Pier where the man was identified as the 49-year-old paddle boarder that went missing on Sunday (June 24).

Local residents reported that he had come off his board approximately 50 metres away from the pier, with his board later spotted floating about 40 metres away from the pier. Air-sea rescue operations were in full force for almost 48 hours before the man was found.
